An optical system for analyzing light from a plurality of samples is provided.
The optical system includes a plurality of holders adapted to have samples located
therein, a collection lens, a transmission grating, and a reimaging lens. The collection
lens is configured to receive and substantially collimate light from the samples.
The transmission grating is configured to spectrally disperse the substantially
collimated light from the collection lens. The reimaging lens is configured to
receive the light from the light dispersing element and direct the light onto a
light detection device. A method of optically analyzing at least one sample is
also provided.
